The History of Nematology in Southern Africa -- Nematode morphology and classification -- Techniques and methods -- Quarantine nematodes -- Chemical and biological control -- Alternative nematode management strategies for subsistence farmers -- Nematode pests of cereal crops -- Nematodes of leguminous and oil seed crops -- Nematodes of potato and other vegetable crops -- Nematode pests of sugarcane -- Nematode pests of industrial crops -- Nematode pests of citrus -- Nematode pests of grapevine -- Nematode pests of deciduous fruits -- Nematode pests of banana -- Nematode pests of miscellaneous tropical and subtropical crops -- Nematode pests of pineapples -- Nematode pests of grasses and weeds -- Free-living nematodes -- Overview of the South African plant-parasitic nematode survey (SAPPNS) -- Entomopathogenic nematodes -- Marine and estuarine nematodes -- Nematode parasites of primates and humans -- Future challenges.

This unique book contains not only a comprehensive up-to-date summary of the achievements made in all areas of Nematology in South Africa over more than half a century, but it also combines this rather technical part with an insiders narrative of how Nematology started and developed. It also demonstrates how the South African community of nematologists gradually adapted to major changes in agriculture. These were due to a major political shift followed by socio-economic changes and this in an often challenging natural environment. At the same time this book is conceived as a useful source for young scientists to provide them with practical knowledge and critical insight in the field of Nematology. The information given is based primarily on research conducted by nematologists in South Africa. Most of this research was aimed at finding workable solutions for nematological problems confronted by both large-scale commercial producers and smallholding farmers. During a period when funding for scientific research is becoming increasingly scarce, the future demand and quest for practical solutions by applied research will only increase.
